I Didin't want to hijack the survey thread...but an observation
I am a little surprised at how few T's people have issued. In reading this forum all season, the veterans were pretty vocal about having the cajones to issue T's when necessary. I consider myself pretty patient, yet I have issued eight this year. To see the 1's and 0's, leads me to believe that we may be too tolerant of some behavior which leads to the deterioration of standards that some have lamented about this year.

I work four conferences, plus a smattering of other games, (Independents and substitutes) so most of the schools I know fairly well. I only needed to check mapquest once this year.

I have to agree with JR. Lack of balls has nothing to do with the number of T's you give out. JMO game management and professionalism can go a long way.

1.) How well the official knows the coaches. The relationship between the coaches and officials does come into play. Real ex: working with a senior women's official doing a game, coach was a dick thru-out the whole game, team was up by 35 points so I ignored the coach. Senior official was all broke-up inside after the game. Didn't understand why the coach was questioning him and every call so much. Said he should have T'd him but didn't. 2.) Where the official is within their career. For example: if you are trying to build a solid schedule, you might not want to T the home coach so quickly as others here would have you believe. Let's say you're working at Texas Tech, in fact your first game there. I guarantee, you T up Bobby Knight, you might not get anymore games there. There are a lot of other gyms at all levels that are like this for certain officials. Just something to consider. You go trying to be top-dog and T up the wrong coach (and I'm speaking of calling T's on coaches, not players). I guarantee your games will get cut, at the very least, at that particular gym. Now if you are well established, you might not have to worry about it as much. But even then, it is a concern as other factors "do" come into play. |

My partner and I had 3 on coaches, 5 on players...1 was for a halftime dunk...and one admin T in 44 varsity games. If memory serves, last year we had 2 on coaches, 6 on players in 40 games...half those came on back-to-back nights late in the year, where I got half our total, 1 coach and 3 players...I just happened to be around all the stuff. That's just HS varsity ball, mind you. I'm sure very few officials included any of the other stuff they do in the season recap other than the main level they work. You toss in the occasional frosh/JV, MS, youth league, etc...and my T total probably triples. Last edited by blindzebra; Mon Feb 19, 2007 at 11:58am. |

This season will be 60+ games total (3 left...) and I've personally called 8 so far- 2 were administrative and the rest were UC on players/coaches that were too short on brain and long on mouth to take a hint. Three were in varsity games & the rest were all in Frosh/JV games...........primarily boys. |

Partners, when working college intramural games, are a crap shoot. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not. Most, however, are in it for the check, and don't care whether they get any respect or not. I, on the other hand, address unsportsmanlike conduct in the pregame captains meeting, and T it up from there. I've found that, as the season progresses, I'm giving fewer Ts because the teams I ref know I won't stand for it. I'm a newbie, and there are a lot of people on here with more experience than me, but just my two cent. |
